Ingredients
For the pumpkin cupcakes:
- 1 all-purpose flour 3/4 cups
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 egg large egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
- 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream
For the cream cheese frosting:
- 12 ounces cream cheese very soft
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted, very soft
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 4 confectioners' sugar 1/2 cups, sifted
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
For the pumpkin cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a 12-mold cupcake tin with paper liners; set aside.
- In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices; whisk well to combine then set aside. In a separate bowl add both sugars, egg and egg yolk, pumpkin puree, oil, and the sour cream, whisk well to combine. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ones, stirring just until combined. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cupcakes are cool, frost and decorate. The cupcakes may also be frozen, unfrosted, and stored in a freezer safe bag, for up to 2 months. If you have leftover cupcake batter, bake a second batch (I typically have enough for 3 or 4 extra cupcakes).
For the cream cheese frosting:
- In the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using an electric handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla on medium-high speed until completely smooth; about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the sifted confectioners' sugar. Add in cream. Once the cream has been incorporated, increase speed to medium-high and beat for 1-2 minutes. Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, spread or pipe the frosting on top of the cupcakes. Store cupcakes in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days.
